In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a nephew, Shawn Allan Golding, and an infant sister, Tressa Jane Golding. Norma spent all her life living in Fairville (Saint John West) and worked at TS Simms for 46 years until her retirement.

She was a lifelong member of St. Mark’s United Church where she taught Sunday school, was a past member of the Senior Choir (she loved to sing), past member of the UCW and enjoyed volunteering as a Welcomer on Sundays. Many may remember seeing Norma as she was usually to be found walking to many destinations throughout Lancaster. She enjoyed stopping in to her favorite places to enjoy a cup of tea and a donut. Thank you to the ladies of St. Mark’s Church who visited with Norma on a regular basis, her minister Reverend John Roy for his many visits and a special thank you to Debbie for her many visits and caring manner. Thank you also to the Carlton Kirk Nursing Home, doctors, nurses and staff, for their wonderful care. Norma certainly enjoyed the activities provided by their Recreation Department.
